The reason Anne Frank's story has resonated with so many people over so many years is not because circumstances have to be exactly the same as her's for anyone to care, but because anything remotely like it is wrong, and societies moving in that direction should oppose it well before they get there.

ICE kidnapped 5 people from my community this morning. I don’t live in Minneapolis. I live in LA County. They’re still here and their still brutalizing.

It's easy to get inured to this. But it's genuinely shocking. These are just untrained, hyped up hooligans terrorizing people.

"I was only following orders" wasn't an acceptable excuse at the Nuremberg trials & won't work now. #AccountabilityIsComing

It wasn’t enough for Stephen Miller that these American citizens were murdered by ICE and CBP, he had to slander them with lies after their deaths. Miller is a deranged, bloodthirsty bigot, and his policies put lives at risk every day he remains in power. Fire Stephen Miller.

we've got Schumer calling for Miller's head, folks we're dragging them kicking and screaming in the right direction, keep it up

The 2025 shootings of Minnesota legislators were treated far too lightly. Media and the public moved on too fast without grasping the seriousness of assassination. These are life and death issues, not just differences of opinion the USA is working out. The reactionary right is ready to kill.

"The entire agency of DHS needs to be dismantled."

If you live outside the United States, I'm sure the senator's office would love to hear how much more you respect the United States now that Donald Trump is president again. Here's his number: (202) 224-5251

what really bugs me about the "trans people got ahead of public opinion" line is that it ignores *why* public opinion changed. it didn't just come out of nowhere, there was a deliberate push to make trans rights a wedge issue.

I support cleaning house at DHS. Greg Bovino should be fired. Kristi Noem should be fired. Stephen Miller should be fired. But none of those things alone will fix ICE – a new figure will take their place, and nothing will change unless Congress exerts some muscle here.

"GOP is more interested in protecting a murderer than keeping the government open" is an easy message

Trump’s civilian killings, near destruction of NATO, and ties to pedophilia threaten to drop him below 95% approval among Republicans.

This administration is now 40 days past the deadline to release the full Epstein files. The lawlessness in our streets goes all the way to the top.

Yo, ICE! This is what a hostile, threatening approach looks like. And Ilhan Omar’s security didn’t murder him. Imagine that.

The man who assaulted Ilhan Omar is a MAGA man through and through, fiercely loyal to Trump, and attentive to his attacks on Ilhan Omar. That makes this yet another case of Trump-incited stochastic terrorism.

"Abolish ICE" was submitted 9,200 times for Chicago's snowplow naming contest, records show. blockclubchi.co/3ZAnDTZ

I don't know, Heritage Foundation-tied publication, maybe white liberal women are mad because a federal immigration official shot and killed one of them. And then called her a "bitch"? You know, on camera? www.dailysignal.com/2026/01/27/w...

I wrote this song on Saturday, recorded it yesterday and released it to you today in response to the state terror being visited on the city of Minneapolis. It’s dedicated to the people of Minneapolis, our innocent immigrant neighbors and in memory of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. Stay free

@schiff.senate.gov @padilla.senate.gov Don’t waver and fail the entire country. Seize this moment or we may never get another chance. He has done NOTHING to de-escalate. It’s a con and you’re the marks.

IDK why right-wingers keep bringing up Obama's record deportations, it just shows that if you wanted to have a conservative immigration policy without partisan militias occupying cities and gunning people down in the streets you could do it and a lot of americans would be fine with it

Rand Paul: "There has to be an investigation. I don't know who trusts an investigation done by DHS when they're the ones calling this person an 'assassin,' a 'domestic terrorist,' saying he was assaulting police. How can they be in charge of an independent investigation? Something's got to happen."

Absolutely incredible sequence from CNN. "Maduro was a paranoid lunatic always lying about the CIA trying to overthrow him. Anyways, now that the CIA has overthrown him..."

I know it’s not like a surprise anymore that the president is an insane cretin who encourages political violence at almost every opportunity, protected by a cadre of corrupt judges who have cloaked his hateful conduct in impunity, but it’s a cold fact. www.washingtonpost.com/politics/202...

Oil proceeds are going into a private account in Qatar that US Treasury cannot block. The entire arrangement is grotesquely illegal and corrupt. Rubio's answers are dissembling. And we can't seemingly even get intelligent questions for him. bsky.app/profile/atru...

It is vitally important that Democrats (and the media) frame this properly. If the government gets shutdown it is because the GOP insists on DHS, ICE and CBP continuing to occupy American cities and trample the rights of US citizens.

No child should live in detainment. No child is illegal. A country that jails children must be stopped.

The ADL found that Grok was the most anti-semitic chatbot in its testing -- and did its best to minimize that finding, because everyone is afraid of Elon. @miasato.bsky.social runs it down www.theverge.com/news/868925/...

What is a centrist? Most people will tell you 2+2=4. Donald Trump will tell you 2+2=6. So the centrist insists that 2+2=5. Trump gives ICE a free hand to murder with impunity. Millions of people conclude that ICE must be abolished. And the centrists? Watch closely what they do next in Minnesota.

Oh, Tim, no. Just no.

Again, your reminder that we/you again live in a country where concentration camps exist, & that the reason all of the awful & illegal things keep happening in 🇺🇸 politics is bc there are never any actual legal or personal consequences for all of the awful & illegal things happening in 🇺🇸 politics.

Jew in Amsterdam here. Please use Anne Frank as a comparison point to explain how state persecution of scapegoats impacts children, that is the point of her example, thanks

Please spread this far and wide, as stories don't get much bigger than this. When the government blocks even the intelligence services from telling us we're heading for environmental catastrophe, you know we have a problem. A very big problem. Thank you. www.theguardian.com/commentisfre...

Just abolish child prisons. There's nothing else to say.

Cook was “heartbroken” by the events. So heartbroken he spent the evening at at a White House gala schmoozing with Trump and sleazebag director Brett Ratner.

A white guy threw a homemade bomb into a crowd protesting colonialism in Australia and the media have broadly reframed it in more gentle terms, eg this describing it as a "device" that was 'designed to explode'.

Just a reminder that both Ilhan Omar and Maxwell Frost have been attacked this week. No outrage by right-wing media or even corporate media. Now imagine if this were done to Republicans. The entire system is rigged in favor of conservatives, folks. The double standards are just wild.

this is entirely the fault of donald trump, stephen miller, and everyone pushing the targeting of minneapolis and specifically the somali community. is this not clocking as insane to anyone in the right??

Bad practice has continued for years edition.cnn.com/2023/06/02/u...

Once you start noticing it you can't stop: when the real Trump falters and is incapable of defending his administration (more and more frequent) the actual Trump is "subbed out" of news coverage for an invented, imaginary, often explicitly hypothetical version of Trump who is reasonable and cogent

This is unconscionable. Evil. But it happened in May 2023, when Biden was president. So no, we don’t “reform immigration detention,” we destroy ICE, CBP, and DHS. We can’t reform this soul sickness.

I'm fucking HEATED. If we're going to survive and get out of this disaster, we white people need to uplift AND protect Black and brown leaders, with our bodies and lives. I don't want to mourn another Black leader. I want them to lead. We need them here, not as martyrs in a goddamn history book.

A few hours ago the msm unquestioningly repeated the White House spin that Trump had changed his “tone.”

USA Today is openly lying in this story. There is not "widespread criticism," there is: * Criticism from a body that Donald Trump controls * Criticism from a far-right body aligned with Donald Trump * Criticism from a political appointee appointed by Donald Trump That's it. That's the "widespread"

He had a syringe. A syringe filled with…idk (urine?) The President of the United States has incited this kind of action against a sitting, Black woman member of Congress. Where is the “tone down the rhetoric” brigade?

"You raise your voice, I erase your voice." Meet 𝐄𝐝𝐠𝐚𝐫𝐝𝐨 𝐆𝐨𝐧𝐳𝐚𝐥𝐞𝐳, an ICE Deportation Officer from Miami, FL (originally from Puerto Rico). Gonzalez has lived in Miami and Hollywood, FL. He decided it would be fun to travel to Miami to kidnap and threaten people. #OneOfOursAllOfYours #UnmaskICE

I am disgusted and outraged by the attack on Rep. Omar tonight while she was doing her job & meeting with constituents. Let’s be clear: nonstop hate and dangerous rhetoric from Trump & his allies has fueled this type of violence. I stand with Rep. Omar. I stand with Minnesota. This must stop.
